Abstract
Systems and method for monitoring patient physiological data are presented herein. A gas analyzing measurement head can be provided to sample and analyze respiratory gases of a patient. In one embodiment, the gas analyzing measurement head can read information on an information element of an airway adapter or resuscitation bag. Such information can be used to generate instructions for manual ventilation using the gas analyzing measurement head, airway adapter, and resuscitation bag. Manual ventilation instructions can be displayed on the gas analyzing measurement head or can be transmitted for display on another device, such as a clinician's mobile computing device.
Claims19
A physiological monitoring system comprising:
- a respiratory gas measurement device including a processing board;
- an airway adapter configured to connect to the respiratory gas measurement device and to direct exhaled respiratory gases of a patient to the respiratory gas measurement device, the airway adapter comprising a first information element configured to store adapter data representing information regarding at least one characteristic of the airway adapter;
- and
- a resuscitation bag configured to connect to the airway adapter and to provide positive pressure ventilation to the patient, the resuscitation bag comprising a second information element configured to store bag data representing information regarding at least one characteristic of the resuscitation bag,
- wherein the processing board is configured to:
- generate instructions for manual ventilation based on one or both of the adapter data and the bag data, wherein the instructions include an animated sequence and wherein a timing of the animated sequence is configured to vary to provide visual feedback, and
- cause output of the instructions for manual ventilation to a user,
- wherein the processing board communicates with the first information element to read the adapter data, and
- wherein the processing board communicates with the second information element to read the bag data.
A physiological monitoring method comprising:
- providing a respiratory gas measurement device including a processing board;
- providing an airway adapter configured to connect to the respiratory gas measurement device and to direct exhaled respiratory gases of a patient to the respiratory gas measurement device, the airway adapter comprising a first information element configured to store adapter data representing information regarding at least one characteristic of the airway adapter;
- providing a resuscitation bag configured to connect to the airway adapter and to provide positive pressure ventilation to the patient, the resuscitation bag comprising a second information element configured to store bag data representing information regarding at least one characteristic of the resuscitation bag;
- communicating, via the processing board, with the first information element to read the adapter data;
- communicating, via the processing board, with the second information element to read the bag data;
- generating, via the processing board, manual ventilation instructions based on one or both of the adapter data and the bag data, wherein the instructions include an animated sequence and wherein a timing of the animated sequence is configured to vary to provide visual feedback;
- and
- providing the manual ventilation instructions to a user.
